INTRODUCTION. 


%       cp  PREVIOUS  PUBLICATIONS. 

In  the  summer  of  1886  I  published  for  free  distribution  a 
key  to  the  genera  of  mosses  recognized  in  the  Manual  of 
Lesquereux  and  James.  A  large  edition  of  that  key  was 
soon  exhausted,  and  I  have  been  frequently  assured  that  it 
proved  of  real  service  to  students  of  mosses.  Although 
much  misgiving  was  felt  as  to  its  accuracy  very  few 
changes  have  been  found  necessary,  and  it  is  now  presented 
for  the  third  time  substantially  as  it  was  at  the  first,  ex- 
cept for  the  changes  involved  in  its  extension  to  include 
the  sub-genera  of  Hypnum,  most  of  which,  as  given  in  the 
Manual  referred  to,  are  certainly  of  generic  rank. 

Encouraged  by  the  approval  of  the  key  to  genera,  in 
May,  1890,  I  published  keys  to  the  species  of  North  Ameri- 
can mosses  recognized  by  Lesquereux  and  James.  These 
keys  were  printed  in  the  eighth  volume  of  the  Transac 
tions  of  the  Wisconsin  Academy  of  Sciences,  Arts  and  Let- 
ters, and  a  considerable  edition  of  separates  was  also  struck 
off.  In  those  keys  I  included  the  comparatively  small 
number  of  new  species  which  had  been  described  since  the 
the  issue  of  the  Manual.  The  work  made  no  pretensions 
to  a  critical  study  of  North  American  mosses,  but  was  de- 
signed only  as  a  convenience  for  students.  The  new 
edition  here  presented  is  meant  to  serve  the  same  purpose 
more  fully. 

THE  NEW  EDITION. 

Three  reasons  have  induced  me  to  prepare  a  new  edition. 
(1)  The  separate  edition  printed  in  1890  was  exhausted  sev- 


ly 


BULLETIN   OF   THK   UNIVERSITY   OF    WI800N8IN, 


eral  years  ago,  and  requests  for  copies  of  it  were  being  re- 
ceived continually.  (2)  It  will  be  several  years  before  the 
new  Manual  of  North  American  mosses  can  be  com- 
pleted, and  much  information  is  needed  to  make  critical 
study  for  that  work  possible.  (3)  A  very  large  number  of 
new  species  have  been  described  since  1890,  about  which 
it  is  especially  desirable  to  have  more  accurate  information. 
I  was  fortunate  in  being  able  to  associate  with  me  in  this 
work  Mr.  Fred  D.  Heald,  sometime  fellow  in  botany  in  the 
University  of  Wisconsin,  who  has  prepared  the  first  draft 
of  the  revision.  Of  some  particular  parts  of  the  work  for 
which  credit  is  due  him  I  shall  speak  later. 

COLLECTED  DESCRIPTIONS. 

Comparatively  few  who  would  be  glad  to  collect  and 
study  mosses  have  access  to  the  various  publications  in 
which  the  species  new  to  our  flora  have  been  described. 
We  have  thought  it  best,  therefore,  at  the  risk  of  adverse 
criticism,  to  append  to  the  keys  collected  descriptions  of 
all  species  not  found  in  Lesquereux  and  James'  Manual. 
For  the  specialist  this  may  be  looked  upon  as  wasted 
energy;  but  these  keys  are  prepared  chiefly  for  amateurs, 
who  will  doubtless  be  glad  to  have  these  descriptions 
brought  to  hand. 

The  source  of  the  descriptions  reprinted  in  the  Appendix 
is  always  cited.  The  descriptions  are  not  always  the  orig- 
inal ones,  though  generally  they  are  if  the  species  is  one 
recently  named.  We  have  not  thought  it  necessary  in  other 
cases  even  to  cite  the  original  description  which  can  be 
found  readily  from  the  clue  given. 

KINDBERG'S  NEW   SPECIES. 

A  great  number  of  new  species  have  been  described  by 
Dr.  N.  C.  Kindberg,  of  LinkOping,  Sweden,  and  by  Dr.  C. 
MftUer,  of  Halle,  in  collaboration  with  Kindberg,  from  the 
collections  brought  together  by  John  Macoun,  botanist  of

the  Dominion  of  Canada.    There  is  good  reason  to  believe 
that  a  majority  of  these  are  not  well  founded. 

It  is,  of  course,  true  that  species  as  such  do  not  exist  in 
nature,  and,  therefore,  that  there  will  be  diverse  judgments 
as,  to  what  individuals  should  be  grouped  to  form  a  species. 
But  there  is  a  general  agreement  that  changes  induced  by 
the  immediate  action  of  the  environment  upon  the  individ- 
ual can  not  furnish  a  proper  basis  for  specific  distinctions. 
Many  o£  Kindberg's  species  are  established  upon  such 
slight  differences  in  size,  shape  or  habit  as  may  readily  be 
induced  by  the  immediate  action  of  deficient  or  excessive 
moisture,  light  or  shade,  etc. 

Other  species  are  based  upon  wholly  insufficient  material. 
When  immature  or  barren  specimc"  *  if  Barbula  and  Bryum 
are  described  as  new  species,  one  w'.  knows  the  remark- 
able variability  of  the  vegetative  parts  oi  plants  can  not 
but  doubt  the  value  of  distinctin  bas<ir1  upon  *'  3in.  Only 
the  repeated  collection  oi.  baii*en  specin-,ius  with  some 
persistent  peculiarities  can  justify  t.e  establishment  of 
new  species  upon  such  material. 

Moreover,  critical  examination  of  Kindberg's  new  species 
in  several  genera  have  been  made  by  a  number  of  bryolo- 
gists,  among  whom  may  be  nam'.-d  Mrs.  Britton,  Best.Cr^ut, 
Barnes,  True,  Cheney,  Renauld,  and  Curdot.  Without  ex- 
ception these  students  have  declared  a  considerable  uum- 
ber  of  the  plants  described  as  new  to  be  referable  to  those 
already  described,  of  which  they  are  either  slight  varieties 
or  forms  unworthy  a  separate  name.  In  a  revision  of  the 
genus  Dicranum  (ined.),  for  example,  Barnes  and  True  have 
been  compelled  to  reject  seventeen  out  of  eighteen  species 
described  by  Kindberg. 

These  species  are  in  many  cases  not  only  ill  founded. 
Few  of  the  descriptions  are  either  accurate  or  sufficient. 
Very  many  are  so  brief  and  so  purely  comparative  that 
it  is  impossible  to  obtain  a  definite  idea  of  the  diagnostic 
characters.

SCOPE   OF  THE   KEYS. 

In  the  keys  we  have  endeavored  to  include  all  the  species 
reported  or  described  as  belonging  to  our  flora,  unless  a 
later  special  study  of  the  genus  has  shown  the  addition  to 
be  untenable.  Such  special  studies  are  cited  in  the  keys. 
The  incompleteness  of  many  descriptions,  and  the  lack  of 
diagnostic  characters  have  seriously  hampered  us  in  re- 
arranging the  keys,  and  they  will  fail,  therefore,  in  many 
cases  to  differentiate  described  species.  We  have  been  at 
considerable  pains  to  include  as  many  of  the  barren  and 
insufficiently  described  species  as  possible,  in  order  that 
these  may  be  recognized,  if  they  exist,  or  may  be  referred 
to  their  appropriate  place.  Material  which  will  enable 
students  either  to  diagnose  them  clearly  or  to  overthrow 
them  would  be  of  great  value. 

The  keys  do  not  generally  discriminate  varieties,  but  it 
is  very  important  that  collectors  and  amateurs  keep  in 
mind  the  variability  of  the  mosses  and  seek  to  bring  to 
light  as  many  facts  as  possible  bearing  on  this  problem,  so 
that  the  range  of  variability  may  be  ascertained.  To  facil- 
itate this  we  have  also  collected  descriptions  of  varieties 
not  appearing  in  the  Manual.  In  these  varietal  descrip- 
tions the  comparisons,  unless  otherwise  stated,  are  with 
the  characters  of  the  species. 

NOMENCLATURE. 

It  seemed  to  us  highly  desirable  to  avoid  the  making  of 
new  names  in  a  compilation  like  this.  We  have  therefore 
used,  as  a  basis  for  our  work,  Renauld  and  Cardot's  Musci 
Americoi  Septentrionalis. '  In  basing  our  keys  upon  that  list 
we  do  not  thereby  express  our  adherence  to  the  nomencla- 
ture  employed.      Of    many    species   therein   neither   the 


'  Published  in  the  Revue  Bryoiogique  19:  65-69.  1892  and  20:  1-32. 
1893.  Afterward  this  was  issued  as  a  separate  and,  most  unfortunately, 
re-paged  and  revised.

present  names  nor  the  autonomy  can  be  maintained.  But 
it  enables  us  to  avoid  constructing  new  names  in  this  pub- 
lication, so  that  it  need  not  be  cited  in  the  future  litera- 
ture of  taxonomy. 

This  list  also  saved  us  much  labor  of  compilation,  both  of 
names  and  of  geographical  distribution.  Only  such  changes 
were  made  in  the  species  included  as  seemed  warranted  by 
the  special  studies  before  mentioned.  To  the  species 
therein  enumerated  we  have  added  those  described  since 
its  publication  up  to  January  1,  1896. 

We  have  departed  from  this  list  and  published  mono- 
graphs in  only  two  genera.  In  Dicranum  we  have  used 
the  results  of  the  study  of  Barnes  and  True,  and  in  Am- 
blystegium  those  of  Cheney  (both  at  present  unpublished), 
so  far  as  the  omission  of  certain  species  of  these  genera 
is  concerned.  We  have  not  included  some  new  species  yet 
in  MSS.,  believing  that  this  bulletin  is  not  a  suitable  pi  ice 
for  publishing  them. 

It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  add  that  no  attention  has  been 
paid  to  nomina  nuda. 

CITATIONS. 

For  the  sake  of  brevity  we  have  cited  Macoun's  Catalogue 
of  Canadian  Plants,  Part  VI.  Mosses,  by  Macoun  and  Kindberg, 
simply  as  Mac.  Cat. ,  to  which  its  independent  paging  lends 
itself.  Likewise  RabenhorsVs  Kryptogamen- Flora  von  Deutsch- 
land,  CEsterreich  und  der  Schtoeiz,  Part  IV.  Die  Laubmoose,  by 
Limpricht,  is  cited  as  Limpr.  Laubm.  Other  citations  are 
given  in  full  or  with  abbreviated  accurate  titles.  In  all 
cases  we  have  cited  the  original  publication  of  Renauld  and 
Cardot's  Musci  Americce  Septentrionulis  in  the  Revue 
Bryologique.

larger  genera,  such  as  Sphagnum,  Barbula,  Orimmia  and 
Bryum,  was  also  a  difficult  task,  made  doubly  difficult  by  im- 
perfect descriptions  and  want  of  figures.  There  is  scarcely 
a  key  which  he  has  not  altered  more  or  less  to  permit 
these  insertions,    and    some    are   completely   rearranged. 

In  this  work  advantage  has  been  freely  taken  of  the 
suggestions,  and  sometimes  of  the  very  characters,  in  the 
keys  found  in  Limpricht's  Laubmoose,  Braithwaite's  British 
Moss  Flora,  Husnot's  Mvscologia  Oallica,  and  Warnstorf 's  Char- 
acteristikund  Vebersichtdernord-,  mittel-,  und sudamerikanischen

For  the  key  of  Dicranum  thanks  are  due  to  Professor  R. 
H.  True  and  for  that  of  Amblystegium  to  Professor  L.  S. 
Cheney,  both  of  the  University  of  Wisconsin. 

The  first  draft  of  the  manuscript  prepared  by  Mr.  Heald 
I  have  carefully  edited,  revised,  and,  in  some  parts,  re- ar- 
ranged. In  the  absence  of  Mr.  Heald  from  the  country, 
the  not  inconsiderable  labor  of  attending  to  the  details  of 
publication  has  fallen  upon  me. 

For  corrections  to  the  previous  edition  acknowledgments 
are  due  to  Mrs.  E.  G.  Britton,  Miss  Clara  E.  Cummings,  Mr. 
E.  A.  Rau,  Dr.  C.  W.  Swan,  Mr.  Marshall  A.  Howe,  Mr.  Edo 
Claassen,  Professor  L.  S.  Cheney  and  Professor  R.  H.  True. 

The  unfailing  kindness  of  Mrs.  E.  G.  Britton  in  supply- 
ing specimens,  information  as  to  particular  species,  and 
copies  of  several  inaccessible  descriptions  receives  also  our 
grateful  recognition. 

Professor  Conway  MacMillan  has  also  put  us  under  ob- 
ligations by  the  loan  of  periodicals  not  accessible  here.

USE   OF  THE   KEYS. 

Upon  page  157  is  a  key  to  the  four  orders  of  Musci.  The 
first  three  orders  each  have  a  single  genus  only.  To  the 
genera  of  the  fourth  order,  Bryales,  the  key  upon  the  fol- 
lowing twelve  pages  is  devoted. 

In  this  key  thre  are  always  at  least  two  choices  pre- 
sented, whose  equivalence  is  indicated  by  similar  numbers 
or  signs  preceding  the  line,  or  by  equal  indention  o!  the 
lines,  which  usually  begin  with  the  same  word  or  its  op- 
posite. When  the  second  member  does  not  follow  on  the 
same  page  a  reference  to  the  page  upon  which  it  does  oc- 
cur follows  the  first.  For  an  example  see  page  158.  When 
there  are  more  than  two  choices  offered,  all  except  the  first 
and  last  are  followed  by  a  number  or  sign  to  indicate  that 
a  succeeding  one  is  to  be  sought.  For  an  example  see  page 
160. 

When  the  accepted  choice  is  followed  by  a  dotted  line 
leading  to  the  name  of  a  genus,  the  description  of  that  genus 
will  be  found  in  Lesquereux  and  James'  Manual  of  the 
Mosses  of  North  America  on  the  page  indicated  by  Arabic 
figures  of  ordinary  face  (999).  The  key  to  the  species  of 
that  genus  will  be  found  on  the  page  of  this  work  indi- 
cated by  the  bold  face  figures  (999)  following.  If  the  genus 
be  not  described  in  the  Manual  it  will  be  found  described 
in  the  Appendix,  on  the  page  indicated  by  italic  figures 
(999.) 

In  the  keys  to  species  the  correlative  choices  are  indi- 
cated in  the  same  way.  Arabic  figures  (999)  following  the 
name  of  a  species  show  that  the  species  will  be  found  de  • 
scribed  in  the  Manual  on  the  page  named.  If  followed  by 
italic  figures  (999),  a  description  will  be  found  in  the  Ap- 
pendix on  the  page  indicated.

sense  "dead  work."  Yet  in  another  it  is  vital.  It  is  in 
itself  of  only  temporary  value.  It  perishes  with  the  using. 
The  user  may  soon  get  beyond  the  need  of  a  crutch. 

The  only  justification  for  such  work  ia  its  usefulness  to 
amateurs,  who  may  by  its  help  put  bryologists  in  posses- 
sion of  facts  regarding  the  distribution,  variation,  and  re- 
lationships of  our  moss  flora  which  could  not  be  gained 
without  their  aid.  These  keys  are  published,  therefore, 
purely  as  an  encouragement  to  the  study  of  our  mosses.' 
which  with  the  Hepatic^  are  more  neglected  than  any 
other  group  of  which  we  have  accessible  descriptions. 

An  earnest  student  equipped  with  patience,  some  skill  in 
dissection,  a  compound  microscope,  and  the  Manual,  ought 
to  be  able  with  the  assistance  of  these  keys  to  determine 
the  names  of  most  of  the  mosses  which  he  can  collect. 
Those  which  remain  uncertain  he  can  refer  to  those  who 
possess  the  illustrations  and  exsiccati  which  are  often  in- 
dispensable for  identification.

In  this  genus  the  structure  of  the  costa  is  of  diagnostic  value.  It  is 
either  composed  of  similai-  cells  (homoftencom),  or  composed  of  large 
parenchyma  cells  and  small  sclerenchyma  cells  (stereids).  The  large  pa- 
renchyma cells  {guides  =  "Deuter"  of  Lorentz*)  form  a  row  (seldom  double) 
in  the  midc^le  of  the  costa  touching  each  other  tangentially.  They  are 
comparatively  large,  but  little  thickened  and  either  empty  or  starch-bear-
